Reel Lucky King Megaways Slot – Free Demo

Six lit reels is all it takes to wake the king here, and in 330 spins at a 1-credit stake he woke three times, paying 126 credits of the 307.40 I won back. The rest came from cascades, including a 48x base-game hit that briefly lifted the balance above where it started.

Three Reel Kings in 330 spins
With fresh mechanics and heightened potential, I'm beginning to witness truly compelling things occur here. I played 330 spins at 1 credit each, starting from a balance of 1,000 credits.
Reel Lucky King Megaways is far from ordinary. Reel King landed three times in my session, on spins 167, 204 and 311, and those rounds paid 126 credits between them, 41% of everything I won.
It arrives with a 6-reel Megaways reel layout of 2 to 7 symbols per reel with up to 117,649 ways. A horizontal extra reel of 4 positions sits above the middle four reels. The bet amount spans from 0.20 to 20 credits.
Cherries at the bottom, a Pot of Gold that pays for two
Beginning from lowest value the symbols are - cherries, plums, watermelons, nines, tens, jacks, queens, kings, aces, pots of gold, and the horseshoe wild. The Horseshoe substitutes for regular symbols, also turns up on the extra reel, and pays nothing of its own. The paytable can seem a little puzzling. The Pot of Gold pays 2x to 50x the bet and is the only symbol that also pays for 2 of a kind. But payouts are computed as a Megaways slot when matching symbols land on adjacent reels from the leftmost reel. After every win the winning symbols are removed and new ones drop in, and the cascades continue for as long as new combinations form.
The game can produce solid wins even in the base game, and in truth, I managed to hit a 48x win outside of the bonus during my session. That 48x hit landed on spin 264 and took my balance to its session peak of 1,009.10 credits.
Yellow dings in the base game, red ones in the free spins
Reels light up one more with each cascade. In the base game they light yellow from left to right, and a reel can also roll in already lit. All 6 lit triggers Reel King, and the count of free spins is decided by the mini slots. They advance you along the Free Spins trail, while Super King and Lucky King award you a longer trail. One more cascade with all 6 reels lit upgrades Reel King to Super King, and a further one upgrades it to Lucky King with 3 to 6 mini slots and a trail of 8 to 25 free spins. The count of free spins can differ a great amount, and during my session Reel King paid between 15x and 56x the stake. The same studio also makes Reel King Megaways and Reel Spooky King Megaways.
Throughout the round, an uncapped multiplier begins at 1x and gains +1 per cascade, and it's possible to add up to 3 extra free spins when all 6 reels are lit red. When this occurs, up to +3 is added to the multiplier. Reels lit red during free spins stay lit, with one more lighting from left to right on each cascade.
The Minty Take: Over the session I wagered 330 credits and won back 307.40, a 93.1% return. Most crucially, its free spins game with an uncapped multiplier is the bit that keeps the red reels worth watching.
